Simplifying post-EVAR surveillance.

Surveillance after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is costly and a burden for the patient. Imaging is performed to detect stent-graft failure from endoleak or haemodynamic obstruction. Presently, computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is considered the gold standard for post-EVAR surveillance, as it has the potential to visualise most threats to stent-graft durability, such as migration, ki...

Patient-specific Rehearsal Before EVAR

Objective: To assess the effect of patient-specific virtual reality rehearsal (PsR) before endovascular infrarenal aneurysm repair (EVAR) on technical performance and procedural errors. Background: Endovascular procedures, including EVAR, are executed in a complex multidisciplinary environment, often treating high-risk patients. Consequently, this may lead to patient harm and procedural ineffic...
